GENERAL The MD-2000A speed sensor is used to monitor the speed of a weighfeeder or low speed belt conveyor ( see input specification ). The sensor, coupled to a pulley shaft, converts the rotation of its input shaft into an encoded speed signal.

MOUNTING The MD-2000A speed sensor is usually coupled to the tail pulley shaft of a weighfeeder. On low speed conveyers, the speed sensor may be coupled to the tail, bend or snub pulley. The mounting arrangement requires the input shaft and bearing assembly to bear the weight of the speed sensor. The unit’s arresting bracket stops the speed sensor from rotating with the shaft.
MAINTENANCE The speed sensor electronics normally requires no maintenance, however a program of periodic checks would be beneficial. The enclosure and circuit board should be cleaned if necessary, but only when the power is disconnected using a vacuum cleaner and a clean dry paint brush. Check all electrical contacts for corrosion and arcing.

DETAIL ’A’ NOTE : 1. Machining on tail pulley shaft per Detail ’A’ (by customer) to accomodate Milltronics speed sensor . 2. Arresting bracket is an anti-rotation device only and must not secure or support the speed sensor. Bearing life would be greatly reduced if speed sensor is not free to "float".
